Mini Blueberry Muffins

I love grab and go breakfast options.  Small little treats that go perfectly with your morning coffee that you can throw in your bag before rushing out the door. These mini muffins are perfectly bite-sized.  What I love most about them is that they are not overly sweet.  Ava and I thought they were perfect [...]



Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Saturday morning pancakes are a ritual Ava and I have created.  She has come to expect them hot and ready when she wakes up on Saturday morning.  Grant it she wakes up at 6 am and usually has to drag me out of bed.   Most Saturdays, I’m exhausted and whip together her pancakes while half [...]

Pumpkin Cranberry Granola

There is always a few weeks in the beginning of fall I just cannot make the transition to hot oats for breakfast.  I’m usually always longing for cold yogurt and fresh berries…and flip flops and sundresses.  While I’m still reminiscing summer I like to slowly work my way into fall.  That’s where this granola comes [...]



Red Pepper Mushroom Frittata

In my house we usually only eat quiche on special occasions.  For week night dinners we stick with frittata recipes.  They are cheap, easy to make and let’s face it…much healthier than a rich quiche.  In this frittata recipe I add a bit of flour to the veggies due to the fact that they release [...]



Blueberry Banana Bread

All banana bread recipes are not created equal.  I can assure you of this.  It seems like a simple enough baked good to but there are flop recipes out there. All over the web you will find a variety of variations.  Honestly, though, the thought of veering from my classic recipe is scary.  I love [...]



Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

This smoothie is so refreshing. It takes you right out of this March cold winter straight to a tropical island. Did you know there are people out there who hate coconut??? {gasp} I know. How could you possibly have an aversion to something so luxurious? It’s like those people who say they dislike the beach…really? [...]

White Chocolate Raspberry Danish

My family freaks out over danish.  Actually, I freak out over danish.  I have a bad love-hate relationship with danish.  I tend to get an evil grin on my face when Jonathan walks through the door with a pretty danish box in hand on Sunday mornings.    I’ll never forget one of the first times [...]
